Sparkle Shoes and Camo...

There's nothing wrong with that combo right?  Lol!  Ash LOVES her sparkle shoes that I got from my mother-in-law (a hand-me-down from someone she works with) while I was still pregnant.  She discovered them a few months ago and tries to wear them all the time even though they are still way too big for her.  She also got a pair of camo pj's from my in-laws for Christmas and the combination of both the other night just cracked me up!  I just had to share...

 Fashionista????

 Ahhhh...the wicker chair.  This chair belonged to me as a child.  My mom kept it for all these years and I am so glad she did.  It's crazy to me that it was my chair as a little girl in another country (and continent!) and now it's Ashlyn's.  Thank you mom!

All my children

Before Aaron and I had Ashlyn, our two dogs (Chase and Daisy) were our "kids."  They slept with us, went most places with us, and had most of our attention.  Well, the day we brought Ashlyn home, things naturally changed.  But even though they don't get to sleep on the bed with us anymore or go on as many car rides as they used to, they love their little sister!  They are so good and gentle with her and she loves them just as much. 

Here are some pictures of me and my "kids" enjoying an unusually warm and sunny winter day recently.

Ash was over getting her picture taken at this point, but I considered myself lucky to get her to sit still for the few pictures she let us take :)

  
Here's a video of her sharing her treats with Daisy.  It was too cute!
